Russell Wilson has had 66 rushing attempts this year. He has 30 of those attempts in the last four games. I personally believe that Russell is getting tired of waiting for plays to develop and he has took it upon himself to take the game over. I have noticed that the Hawks have instituted the handoff, keeper option more.

I know the Bevell topic has been discussed numerous times but I think that the play calling is holding Russell back. The lack of killer instinct our OC shows during games is frustrating as hell. RW had 5 rushes total on the past two drives of the game. It seems like RW has shown that he will win in spite of the play calling. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

BEVELL IS STILL THE DEVIL,HOWEVER, THE FRONT OFFICE HAS EXORCISED HIM. "THE POWER OF CARROLL COMPELS YOU!" "THE POWER OF CARROLL COMPELS YOU!"

Why would he want to run more? More chance of injury (which by his reactions to an incoming hit he doesn't like), and he wouldn't be as much of a pocket QB, which would handcuff the offense eventually. Wilson may scramble, but he's gonna learn to use the pocket like a normal QB as well.

I don't want Wilson turning into RG IR 3, so let's keep the runs at a minimum.

Lack there of? If your were a rookie QB in the NFL and was having the success that Wilson is having would you be criticizing the people that made it possible. Is it that hard to come up with the answer?

If the offense has success, the share should go to Wilson AND Bevell. Back when it was doing bad, the share of the blame should have gone to Wilson AND Bevell, but it seemed to all go to Bevell. Now all the praise goes to Wilson.

Bevell is actually a very good play caller. Want examples? Here ya go:
